We’re the opposite. C26 had a rough start grade-wise to high school but is a strong test taker, one and done with a score at or above the 75th percentile even at the reach schools on their list, so definitely submitting in the hope that it will help validate the upward trend in their grades. (Which it may or may not depending whose posts you read on cc, lol)
But you can see on the CDS’s that a lot of kids still go TO. I don’t think it’s a problem.
